Bright ruby. Sexy aromas of red fruit preserves, potpourri and herbs, with a spicy topnote. Juicy and precise, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and a touch of smoky minerality. Showing impressive finesse and a light touch for the vintage. Very elegant, with a strikingly long, floral-dominated finish and gentle tannins.
(60% grenache, 30% syrah, 8% mourvedre and the rest cinsault, counoise, mascarin and vaccarese; half raised in barriques and the rest in concrete): Ruby-red. An intense, highly perfumed bouquet evokes raspberry, cherry, rhubarb and garrigue, with slow-building spiciness. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering pure red fruit flavors and a suave blend of ripeness and energy. Finishes sappy and very long, with resonating floral and cherry notes.
